Formed at the tail-end of 2004, Prego quickly set about the construction of impregnable cordons of guitars, deftly defended by Edd Simpson’s delicately distinctive vocals and a dirge-heavy rhythm section. With a shared affection of the fractured anthemic chimes of Death Cab For Cutie, Grandaddy and Aereogramme, the North London five-piece fast established a fevered following through excessive gigging and aggressive promotion through their online presence. April 2005 saw the release of The Suffolk Explosion, a 14-track compilation of burgeoning new talent put together by Fightstar’s Charlie Simpson, featuring two new recordings from Prego. An opening slot at Fightstar’s sold out Electric Ballroom show and UK dates with New York’s Walking Concert (ex Rival Schools) added to the interest aroused in the band following the album’s release. Prego’s debut EP, ‘Primaries’ is scheduled for release through Glasgow’s Adorno Records on Monday 5th September. “With strong melodies, heavy doses of guitar, and an air of something special, Prego soar through their set” (Daily Star)
